Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock

The Fund will pay transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, will affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 95% of the average value of its portfolio.

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund's operating expenses will remain the same and that you reinvest all dividends and distributions.

The Turner Global Opportunities Fund generally invests in common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies that Turner believes have strong earnings growth potential. For this purpose the Fund considers U.S. companies to include those companies headquartered or doing a substantial portion of their business in the United States. All other companies are considered foreign companies. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest significantly (at least 40% — unless market conditions are not deemed favorable by the Adviser in which case the Fund would invest at least 30% of net assets) in foreign companies. Investments will generally be in securities of companies with market capitalizations of greater than $2 billion at the time of purchase. The Fund may continue to hold securities of companies whose market capitalization was within such range at the time of purchase but whose current market capitalization may be outside of that range. From time to time, the Fund may also invest in securities of companies with market capitalizations at the time of purchase that are less than or equal to $2 billion.


The Fund's portfolio generally will contain between 20 to 40 securities. The Fund may trade actively in both U.S. and foreign securities and may invest up to 30% of its assets in emerging markets securities. Turner will not adhere to strict sector or industry constraints in managing the Fund, which may have a significant exposure to one or more sectors or industries and may have little or no exposure to various other sectors or industries. The sector allocation of the portfolio will reflect what Turner's portfolio management team believes are its best global growth stock ideas, and by purchasing only those securities Turner believes are the best stocks within each sector, Turner seeks to minimize the impact of poorly performing sectors on the overall portfolio. Additionally, while Turner will remain "country aware" when selecting securities for the Fund, there are no specific limits on country or region weightings. Country and regional weightings are a residual of Turner's bottom-up stock selection process, which blends quantitative and qualitative analysis to find growth companies with superior earnings prospects, reasonable valuations, and favorable trading-volume and price patterns.


A holding will become a sell candidate if Turner detects deterioration in the company's earnings growth potential. Turner may also trim positions to adhere to capitalization or capacity constraints, or for other reasons.


The Fund may buy and sell securities frequently as part of its investment strategy.

Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is intended for investors seeking long-term growth of capital who can withstand the share price volatility of equity investing.


Since it purchases equity securities, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. You could lose all, or a substantial portion, of your investment in the Fund.


The Fund's investments will generate taxable income and realized capital gains. Shareholder redemptions may force the Fund to sell securities at an inappropriate time, also resulting in realized gains.


The Fund is subject to the risk that growth stocks and non-U.S. stocks may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity markets as a whole. The Fund invests in companies that Turner believes have strong earnings growth potential. Turner's investment approach may be out of favor at times, causing the Fund to underperform funds that also seek capital appreciation but use different approaches to the stock selection and portfolio construction process.


The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, it may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, and may experience increased volatility.


The Fund is subject to risks due to its foreign investments. Foreign stocks involve special risks not typically associated with U.S. stocks. The stocks held by the Fund may underperform other types of stocks, and they may not increase or may decline in value. The risks associated with foreign investments are heightened when investing in emerging markets. The government and economies of emerging market countries feature greater instability than those of more developed countries. Such investments tend to fluctuate in price more widely and to be less liquid than other foreign investments.


The Fund's ability to buy and sell securities frequently may result in higher transaction costs and additional tax liabilities. The Fund's portfolio turnover rates are described in this Summary Section.

Risk Lose Money [Text] rr_RiskLoseMoney You could lose all, or a substantial portion, of your investment in the Fund.
Risk Nondiversified Status [Text] rr_RiskNondiversifiedStatus The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, it may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, and may experience increased volatility.
